    1. Hero Splendor i3S

    A product almost synonymous with efficiency and reliability, the Hero Splendor is by far the most fuel efficient motorcycle in the country returning a claimed 102.5 kmpl. The triple-digit figure certainly sounds unbelievable, but Hero says the efficiency has been achieved by combining the 97.2 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with the manufacturer's i3S or Idle Start-Stop system. A first for two-wheelers, the technology will turn off the engine when the bike is idle for a few seconds, and restart it again once the clutch is pressed. With the engine already being an efficient one, the Splendor i3S breaks a new record in minimal fuel consumption.

Unlike the CT 100, the Bajaj Platina100 ES gets the DTS-i twin-spark motor that offers improved combustion, which burns fuel more efficiently. Furthermore, the bike also gets an optimised suspension set-up badged as ComforTec, which offers longer travel over that of the competition, making for a pliant ride quality. Like the other fuel efficient offerings, the Bajaj Platina 100 ES is also powered by a 102 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine.

The 97.2 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine gets improved components that aid in achieving a higher efficiency figure. The bike, as a result, is able to return 93.2 kmpl, which is still one off the best by segment standards.
